Abstract
Abstract A medium-voltage substation includes at least two insulative material chambers each provided with at least one opening for the gas-tight passage of a set of three-phase busbars. Each chamber contains a three-position three-phase switch for connecting the busbars to first gas-tight electrical feed-throughs and for connecting the first feed-throughs to second gas-tight feed-throughs connected to ground. The first feed-throughs of at least one chamber are each electrically connected to a single-phase cable. The first feed-throughs of each chamber are electrically connected either to a fuse or to a pole of a circuit-breaker disposed in an insulative material compartment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A medium-voltage substation including at leash two insulative material chambers filled with a gas having good dielectric properties, each chamber being provided with at least one opening for the gas-tight passage of a set of three-phase busbars, said chambers being disposed side-by-side with their openings in contact to define a single gas-tight interior volume, said chambers each containing a three-position three-phase switch having a first position in which said switch connects each of said busbars to first gas-tight electrical feed-throughs leading to the outside of said chamber, a second position in which said switch connects said first feed-throughs to second gas-tight feed-throughs leading to the outside of said chamber and connected to ground, and a third position in which each of said first feed-throughs is disconnected from the corresponding busbar, said first feed-throughs of at least one chamber being each electrically connected to a single-phase cable, said first feed-throughs of each chamber being electrically connected either to a fuse or to a pole of a circuit-breaker, said fuses and/or circuit-breaker poles being disposed in an insulative material compartment.
Claim 2
Independent Claim

A medium-voltage substation including at leash two insulative material chambers filled with a gas having good dielectric properties, each chamber being provided with at least one opening for the gas-tight passage of a set of three-phase busbars, said chambers being disposed side-by-side with their openings in contact to define a single gas-tight interior volume, said chambers each containing a three-position three-phase switch having a first position in which said switch connects each of said busbars to first gas-tight electrical feed-throughs leading to the outside of said chamber, a second position in which said switch connects said first feed-throughs to second gas-tight feed-throughs leading to the outside of said chamber and connected to ground, and a third position in which each of said first feed-throughs is disconnected from the corresponding busbar, said first feed-throughs of at least one chamber being each electrically connected to a single-phase cable, said first feed-throughs of each chamber being electrically connected either to a fuse or to a pole of a circuit-breaker, said fuses and/or circuit-breaker poles being disposed in an insulative material compartment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The substation claimed in claim 1 wherein each chamber is made up of two half-chambers bolted together.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The substation claimed in claim 2 wherein said chambers are disposed in a structure made up of metal planes bent to shape and clipped or riveted together.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The substation claimed in claim 3 wherein said chambers are fixed to said structure by wedging said two half-chambers between one or more plate members of said framework.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The substation claimed in claim 1 wherein said chambers have a grounded conductive external surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
The substation claimed in claim 1 wherein said circuit-breaker is connected or said fuses are connected to a grounding switch disposed in a compartment of said structure under said chamber to which said circuit-breaker is connected or said fuses are connected.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
The substation claimed in claim 6 wherein said compartment containing said grounding switch has a pivoting flap for evacuation of said gas in the event of a fault in said compartment containing said circuitbreaker or said fuses.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
The substation claimed in claim 1 wherein said chambers have a rupture area for evacuation of said gas in the event of an internal fault.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
The substation claimed in claim 3 wherein said chambers are disposed in a compartment of said structure comprising two horizontal plates, side plates, a front face plate and a back plate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
37 words
The substation claimed in claim 9 wherein some of said plates constituting said compartment containing said chambers incorporate holes for evacuation of said gas in the event of rupture of at least one of said rupture areas.
